Burton Albion vs West Ham United Predictions

• West Ham have only lost one of their last six matches
• Burton have lost five of their last nine games in all competitions
• Burton’s last eight games have all gone over 2.5 goals

Hammers on the up

Premier League survival is West Ham’s number one priority but they have been handed a very winnable FA Cup fourth round draw and considering their struggles this season, an away win would not go amiss.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have turned things around recently, coming out on top four times in their last six games and they were just seconds away from securing a 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Tuesday before Benjamin Sesko netted a late equaliser.

They got the better of lower league opposition in the shape of QPR in the third round of the FA Cup and look set to follow up against League One strugglers Burton.

Gary Bowyer’s side have lost six of their last nine in the league and are in real danger of succumbing to the drop if they don’t tighten things up at the back.

The Brewers have shipped at least twice in eight of their last nine in the league and that does not bode well for a clash against Premier League opposition.

West Ham should enjoy this drop in class and win a game which also goes over 2.5 goals, something which has happened in Burton’s last eight matches.

Both teams have scored in six of West Ham’s last seven matches and they are fancied for a 3-1 cup success in this one.
